Have you read the installation article?

For me... the "best gasket" is really a good resurfacing job on the manifold set. I have set-up countless SL6 manifold assemblies and they always need to be resurfaced to get them completly flat.

Our Peterson 50 grinder is the best equipment investment I made.
Once the surfaces are clean & flat, the set can be mounted & sealed with any type of gasket.

I know on the wagon I used a special gasket I got from the Cox Bros. that was very thick and had no issues with that. Thanks for the NAPA # I will check on getting that. Take care Doug.
The manifold is new IM using.
